Are you ready for quite possibly the easiest little appetizer/party food/snack ever? This white bean dip takes TOPS five minutes to make. Everything just gets dumped into a food processor and whirled around to smooth, mouthwatering perfection. SO easy it’s not even fair!
What will you use your extra not-prepping-complicated-appetizers-and-snacks time doing? Sitting down with a cup of coffee? ...

Pizza officially just got super easy. I'm talkin' store bought naan, store bought pesto, some cheese, sliced tomato, basil, bam. You done. And it just so happens to taste as delicious as those homemade, more complicated, and time consuming pizzas.
Listen, I'm all bout dat homemade pizza. I love making pizza dough, and I love the process of everyone customizing their own pizzas just how they ...

Sometimes, efficiency is just crucial in life, you know? Work might be crazy, you might have a bunch of kids running around the house, you might have a million little to-do list items ticking through your head. On those days/in those situations, you really need easy, efficient, quick, and yummy (because yumminess is key) dinners.
Let's take this morning for example. I was multitasking as ...

Pork in Garlic Sauce is one of my all time favorite take out dishes. It's probs between this and lo mein for the top slot- it's hard to beat a good lo mein! But if I'm not ordering lo mein, you best believe there will be a steaming hot container of Pork in Garlic Sauce knocking on my door in 20-30 minutes 👅👅👅.
The creation of this recipe is something I have toiled over for quite some time. I ...

Chicken breasts are so blah. I am just not a huge fan...they almost always turn out dry and boring. I don't mind using chicken in things, but I almost never ever just sear up a chicken breast for dinner. So this recipe didn't come about from me experimenting - the creds for these babies go to my husband, Seth.
We got hungry SUPER late at night this past weekend (because we had had popcorn a few ...

Anyone who comes up with recipes (like a food blogger!) finds random inspiration from various things. Something you eat at a restaurant, something you see on the Food Network, Pinterest (🙌🏻), a dish a friend or family member cooks for you, or other completely random things. This dish has a strange inspiration.
A Lean Cuisine...fancy right?
I got several frozen meals at the grocery store ...

Remember when I discovered one pot pasta (I know...way late to the game), became obsessed, and said I was going to experiment with a billion different one pot pasta recipes?
Hiiiii.
This is that. And this is wonderful. I, once again, am very much in love with one pot pasta. It's just so easy! I know all the legit Italians out there are rolling their eyes so hard at me, and the Italian ...

Even those of us that love, love, looooove cooking are fans of 30 minute meals. Meals that are that quick and easy but still pack so much flavor and yumminess are just so much fun to make. Not to mention, MUCH needed on crazy weeknights when you've either been dealing with a pack of crazy kids all day, dealing with a crazy day at work...or both...yikes.
So, this roundup is for you, busy ...

I mean, big surprise - garlic. Garlic is so goooooooodddd (hence blog title), and it's an injustice to food not to use it in every single recipe you ever make for the rest of your life. At least that's the logical conclusion I've come to. The grocery store I shop at, Dillon's, carries these bags of garlic, and the bag is filled with like 4-pack vacuum sealed pouches of garlic. Already peeled and ...

Have you heard the people on all the fancy cooking shows talk about trying to achieve a "balance of flavors" in their recipes? Like a mixture of textures, flavors, acidity, richness, etc...? Well, usually that is way above my pay grade, and I just try to make food that tastes yummy, BUT this recipe is the epitome of that balance of flavors and textures.
If you take away the arugula, what you ...
